November Baking II: Gingerbread Cookies!

A LOT of stuff has been going on in my life lately, which is super exciting, but I barely spend any time doing relaxing stuff anymore. So when I came home last Wednesday, my boyfriend lead me into our kitchen where he has laid out all sorts of baking supplies, saying "Jay, please bake. Please have some you time, I can't bare to see you all stressed out, worrying about stuff you shouldn't even be thinking about"
That's when I realised that my anxiety has increased a lot lately, my head was exploding because I was over thinking way too much- basically I totally overworked myself and gladly accepted his very kind offer.
I decided to make some Gingerbread Cookies and I'm very pleased
with the results! It took me more than three hours only to decorate them, but I felt so relaxed afterwards plus they tasted absolutely amazing!

Ingredients & co.

Gingerbread dough

(I bought one from the store, otherwise I'd have ended up with a totally sticky mess aka my kitchen, but if you want to mix it yourself, this one seems to be a cool recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/the-most-wonderful-gingerbread-cookies-80156 )

A lot of flour to avoid the dough sticking to the worktop

cookie cutters

Rolling pin

various stuff for decorating

I then followed the instructions on the dough wrapping...

I hope your cookies turn out amazing as well! Feedback is always welcome. Thank you for reading,

This year, my boyfriend surprised me with a very special Valentine's Present!

Last year we drove to Dorset/UK wich was really amazing, but this year he decided to book a lovely hotel in Barcelona/Spain which was sooo cool since I've never been in Spain! ( Although I still wonder how he managed to organise this all by himself...)

As you're reading this I'll probably be sitting on the plane flying back to rainy London, but in this post I want to share some of the products I've taken with me!

(If you're wondering why there are barely any face products mentioned, that's because I'm making them all by myself! If you want a natural skin care routine post, let me know in the comments below!)

Hope you liked this quick and easy recipe! Apple Muffins are one of my favourite things to make when it comes to baking in Autumn, but today I tried out a new recipe to spice things up! I personally like this new one better since the muffins turn out waaaay more moist and fluffy!

Are you planning on recreating this recipe? If yes- send me a picture on twitter (@Julia_WalkerOfc) or tell us in the comments below!
